BRO DEER HEATER.

Application filed May 23,

The present invention directed to imin broodcr heaters.

lhe 'priu'iary object ot the invention is to provide a device of this character constructed in such manner that water nay he used for maintaining}; the interior of the ln'oodcr at a uniform temperature.

di'iothe object of the inventimi is to provide a breeder so constrrwtcd that the interior tl'icreot can be heated hy water, the construction being such that the temperature of the Water can be conveniently dated et a point 1 i eriorly of the breeder. Another ob ect oi the invention is to pro r vide a novel term of water heater, which is extremely simple in construction, efficient in operation and one which can he manu tacturul at a very small cost.

Referring to the d rawing, 1. designates the hroiiider which conuinfises a casing including side walls 2. end Walls 3, bottom 4 and a him;- cd ly conne cte d to p 5.

The end Walls have openings (3 therein and in which are eiiio'a ged the ends 011? atuhe '2',

. no on d ot the tube being eiztei'ided somewhat beyond the associated end Wall. A heat retaininp; receptacle 9 is provided and has its side wet s formed with alined openings 10 for ononp inp; the extended end oi the tube 7. his

i receptacle serves to t up the heat tron] the lamp 11. which so jiositioneiil that the heat troin the chimney will enter the receptacle.

A water containing tunk 12 is supported by the tube so as to be lo *ate l centrally Within the breeder casir. n said tank having; openings 13 in its side wall for the reception oi the tube.

there being; a removable top 1st carried by the tanl and in which is termed avent 15.

The tube 7 is provided with an orifice 16 which commun cates with the interior of the tent; in order that water poured into the tank will slowly cuta r the tube and displace the id" ther n as the water is poured. into the la. Jitter the tube is full the water may be poured more rapidly.

it will be obvious that the heat from the lamp will heat the water in the tube 7 as well as the rrutcr in the tank, thus heating the interior oi the breeder to promote the growth zhe chicks therein.

he temperature of the water can be con- I nently regulated upon adjusting the wick oi the lamp, as will be obvious.

A suppieiuental Wire mesh cover 1? may be provided to close the upper end of the breeder casii'igg; when the top 5 is open to prevent the entrance oil? rats and other animals.

The supplemental cover, as shown, is supported upon cleats 18 but it desired the same can he easily coi'inectee to the casing. The casing); may be lined with any suitable ma; terial and may be provided with partitions itl? it is deemed necessary.

lilavinp; thus described the invention, 1 claim A breeder comprising a casing, a tube supported by the end walls of the casing and having; one end extended beyond one end wall, a heat trapping receptacle mounted upon the extended end a water tank supported by the tube. said tube having an orifice therein for connnunication with the tank and a heating unit ssociated with the receptacle for heat ing water in the tube and th us the water in the tank.
